After family prayer this evening I looked up to Caleb's sweet face and felt immense gratitude for the joy he brings into my life. Since he's been born I've heard many apologies, condolences and offered prayers for my little boy, and my heart bursts with gratitude for all those who are concerned and care. But when I think of every future and existing problem for Caleb, the pesty nose tube, the impending surgery and recovery, the hearing loss, the learning difficulties and the language barriers, and probably many other things I have not yet thought of, I am still filled with complete gratitude and humility that he's mine, and I would not change one hair on his head.

I almost cut off my head in this picture because I'm such a wreck, but Caleb is so cute it had to be posted.

This evening I was restless, I needed to be outside, the walls of my home felt as though they were closing in. So we went for a walk (that is why I'm so darn red in the face). This is how Caleb traveled. It's the good life for him.

And I meant to post this picture over a month ago when Cyndee was making her departure, but I forgot. That woman is so darn sneaky, she really thought she could somehow manage to go back to Arizona with Caleb. He tried to make his escape, but it just never worked out for the two of them. So this is for you Cyn. Your baby misses you!
